Aka : Balan, Balaam, and Balemm
Element/sin : avarice and greed
Shape : a naked monster riding on a bear. He wears a royal crown, surmounting two long and upward horns, and a pair of extremely hairy ears stick out at right angles from his skull. The sharp, goat-like facial features are enhanced by a long, scraggly beard. His limbs terminate in unnaturally long fingers and toes, capped by sharp-pointed nails that look as deadly as the claws of the goshawk perching’s right wrist.
Sometimes he has three heads (similar to Asmodeus) : the middle one is that of a man, while the others are those of animals, usually a bull and a ram. Furthermore, Balam is equipped with a serpent's tail and eyes so fierce that they spit forth fire and flames.
Rank : a great and terrible king in hell, commanding forty legions of infernal soldiers. A former angel of the Order of Dominations.
Magic : One of the 72 spirits of Salomon. He answers questions concerning past, present and future events, and he is willing to reveal the secret of invisibility. He is an excellent teacher of the subtle art of cunning, and he imparts wit and finesse to whoever queries him on these matter.
Association : Baalzbub; Beelphegor; Belial; Berith and Byleth
